Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are all within a 30-minute drive of De Vuong 2:

• Xẻo Quýt Tourist Area: A sprawling 700-hectare floodplain wetland just 12 kilometers from the hotel, this protected reserve is famous for its hundreds of pink lotus flowers that bloom between July and September. Take a small rowboat through the water lilies to spot local birdlife, stop for a homemade Mekong lunch at a floating stilt house, and visit the memorial to Vietnamese revolutionary Uncle Ho, who once based his operations here.
• Gao Giong Floating Market: One of the most authentic floating markets in the Mekong Delta, located 20 kilometers from Cao Lãnh. Wake early to wander the waterways, where vendors sell fresh tropical fruit, coconut candy, and hot noodle soup from the decks of their wooden boats—sample the region’s famous fragrant mango and freshly grilled river fish straight from the source.
• Cao Lãnh Cathedral: A striking early 20th-century French colonial cathedral in the center of Cao Lãnh, just a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Its pink facade and Gothic spires stand out against the city’s low-rise skyline, and the quiet interior offers a cool respite from the midday heat, with beautiful stained-glass windows depicting local southern Vietnamese religious history.

Travel Tips

Book a garden-view room for a quiet, green escape from the city center—they cost barely more than city-view options and are far quieter at night. The hotel’s bike rental is one of the best ways to explore central Cao Lãnh and the surrounding paddy fields, with daily rates cheaper than renting from local tour agencies. If you’re visiting during wet season (May to November), pack waterproof shoes and insect repellent for day trips to the wetlands, and ask the front desk to arrange a licensed boat tour to avoid unregulated scammers.
